The report was submitted as an output of the grant proposal for Vernacular Architecture Group, London. The proposal aimed at documenting and studying the "architecture of the cold desert: domestic houses of the Zanskar valley | Ladakh ".

The documentation entails studying the vernacular building processes of domestic buildings in the Himalayan cold desert. The idea is to understand the fundamental building blocks for construction in a region with limited resources and extreme climatic conditions. The challenges offered by the terrain and lack of connectivity instinctively reduce the possibility of human habitation. However, centuries-old domestic settlements in these regions have existed and thrived. The study aims to document the planning principles, material application and overall ecological response for human life to exist and flourish in the region.

The paper aims at mapping the residential typology in the cold and dry desert of Leh-Ladakh. The parameters studied are the thermal properties of the materials, building orientation, massing, and resource mapping. The learnings from this research would help formulate a design response that integrates the new technology and vernacular wisdom while retaining the essence of the socio-cultural interactions.

The report was submitted as an output of the grant proposal for Vernacular Architecture Group, London. The proposal aimed at "Studying the landscapes of north-western Rajasthan through its resource repository".

The report aims at documenting and analysing the geographical and geological variations of the north-western region of Rajasthan, which has led to the availability of a variety of natural building resources, that have been used for construction for centuries. A consequence of this has led to the evolution of various typologies of application and construction techniques.
